We went for Dinner and lunch this week. We had the salad special for lunch and it was fabulous. We ordered the duck spring rolls, they are always delicious, for dinner we shared the seafood platter for one and it was enough to share. It was a little oily, probably wouldn't order that again. However the dessert was amazing!
Service was friendly and cocktails hit the spot.

We stayed 3 nights as a family of 2A & 2C in a Villa. Great option for a family with little ones as it's single storey so no stairs in the house which is great for safety. Villa was clean and dust free. Beds are comfy and overall it's spacious & modern. The parking is an issue however as 2 separate occasions had another car parked in our allocated parking. I mentioned to reception to be told "yes it's an ongoing issue" without much else offered as help. Easy walk to the beach and the location is quiet so overall a lovely place. The restaurant atmosphere is great however the staff are sullen (not one smiled) and the food is fairly average. We had the squids ink pasta and creamy chicken pasta. Real shame for a stunning restaurant with great potential to be let down by the service. We dined elsewhere the other 2 nights.

Great for a cost effective family getaway. Rooms are spacious and clean with modern fittings. The bistro has decent food, and the proximity to the beach is ideal. Pool area could be a bit more "luxury", but it's good enough for kids.

The rooms could do with some small condiments: soap, salt and pepper for example.

WiFi is weak but good enough for Zoom video calls if you need to jump on work calls.

Will be heading back as a quick getaway from Sydney.

Super cool bar/restaurant right in front of the beach, with astonishing views and a great atmosphere. If you are visiting caves beach (which is a great place to visit BTW) remember to spare some time to check this place out. We had only a fee beers and the sweet potato fries (not on the menu) and it was great!!!

We celebrated my wife's birthday at Cave's Coastal Bungalows, and it was an incredible experience! The views from the bathtub to the ocean are breathtaking. Plus, it's a short walk to the stunning Caves Beach. The bungalows offer everything you need for a romantic, peaceful, and scenic getaway. Nearby, you'll find a pub with a relaxed atmosphere, and if you're staying, you can enjoy their locals-only weekly promotion, offering a decent steak night and tasty Tuesday tacos. We'll definitely return for more memorable moments!

Place is close to the caves. Only ~600m walk on the beach. Bungalow is a great idea but sadly our particular bungalow has a number of hardwares in broken or poor state. The rain drops beat the allow window sill and make very loud noise. Room was infested with mosquitoes (at least 20). Luckily the front desk provided Reid for me to rid the bugs. The tub is excellent. Overall a good stay but for the price it can be better.

Super disappointed with the food tonight. Ordered the prawn pasta & it had no flavour and It was clearly warmed up in the microwave and a at least a day old! I had to order a whole new meal as I could not eat the pasta. Very disappointing as 1 year ago this place was worth the money. You are charging high for very basic unflavoured food.

I was there with 11 retirement village residents for lunch. The staff were so lovely and helpful they very kindly brought our food to us as two people had walkers and one a walking stick. The food was delicious and the venue is very nice with a wonderful view of the ocean. We left after lunch so I didn't get to see anything else.
I would definitely recommend this venue for lunch.

Spending a weekend at Caves Bar and Bungalow was an absolute delight. Nestled in a picturesque location, the resort provided the ideal setting for a memorable getaway with friends. The expansive vistas offered breathtaking views, complemented by the comfort of the well-appointed villas and bungalows. However, I would recommend checking in during daylight hours, as locating our villa at night proved a bit challenging. Once we found our way, navigation became effortless, and the experience was truly remarkable.

Great atmosphere. Great views looking out over Caves Beach. Lots of seating outside. Children's play area outside.
Meals were good. The only issue they weren't hot. I think they were left sitting too long before our buzzer went off.

Such a pretty place for drinks and food. Highly recommend going just before the sunsets. It's a really fun vibe with a big group. Good food also!

Went there for lunch. Incredible location overlooking the ocean. Really nice premises. Obviously been refurbished and looks very fresh and very neat & tidy. Has a great outdoor area. Great food. Would highly recommend.

Incredible location. Stayed in a bungalow and the open layout makes them feel so spacious. The bath tub is perfect and the dark wood really elevates the room. I love the heated towel rack and clean drain look (very modern).
Access to caves beach is literally outside your door. It's very calm and lovely at night, with the ducks swimming about and you can easily see lightning clouds in the distance (if it's stormy weather) which is cool.
The restaurant has good food and nice cocktails and sometimes live music. Reception is very helpful and it's not hard to get around the site. Spotted a couple rabbits at night!

My partner and I had our surprise wedding inside the dining area on the weekend, we couldn't have been more happy with how it turned out. Exceptional service from all bar and kitchen staff - especially Simone, we can't thank her enough for so generously giving us the private room for us to celebrate in after lunch. Our family's favourite location for all occasions for a reason.

Stayed in a bungalow for 1 night and wish we stayed for 2 nights. Location is pretty much perfect, easy access to the beach, connected to a pub and short walk up the road to a couple of coffee shops and IGA. Pub had live music and no complaints on the food. Our only issue was rooms could have been a little bit cleaner but that is trying to find issues really.

My wife and I dropped by for chill afternoon with Drinks and Lunch at "the Hotel". We were blown away by the artist Tim Harding. Tim was putting set after set down with perfect Sunday afternoon vibes. Very Chilled and enjoyable music. Tim played until 5pm and we found ourselves still here. Enjoyed the atmosphere so much we refuse to go home and cook and called the family down to have Sunday night dinner on the deck. As a local, I recommend you get Tim back as often as you can. Everybody seemed to enjoy. I was so impressed I spoke with management/staff straight away and shouted Tim praise. I even bought the guy a beer he was that good. Get him back and advertise it locally. I'll be back. My favourite Sunday chill place.

My mum is a local that lives in the area and the food at the caves beach hotel has been progressively getting worse over the past 18 months. Last night we went to the restaurant at five thirty. We ordered a steak, seafood plate and chicken schnitzel. The food was cold and so after returning a dish with the promise of it only taking four minutes to get a new one we gave up after 20 minutes to get a refund. The staff are friendly and the views are great but the food is distinctly average now. Which is such a shame given the potential

Great food and great service. The atmosphere was very chill, but granted we came a bit later in the evening. Got the sirloin steak, which was mint, but wish we could've gotten that caramel pizza ?. Nevertheless, would come back again.

Local return customers but sadly no more. Great location & setting. Unfortunately they have changed their menu for the worst. Food is now cheap & nasty yet more expensive. Used to have the best wings in town, now are absolutely disgusting. Took one bite & had to reject. Worst thing though is their customer service. Tried to explain politely our dissatisfaction at change of menu & food quality. Young 20 something lady rolled her eyes, shook her head & just walked off. Lost a loyal customer.

Quick stop for coffee and a beer before a big storm about to hit.
Huge restaurant, bar and accommodation place overlooking a few beautiful beaches.
🤦‍♀️was served my coffee with sugars but they had run out of spoons, so had to ask waiter for a dessert spoon to stir with🤷‍♀️
Huge areas to dine, drink or just gaze at the view.
Plenty of parking.
Great staff.

We have stayed here before in a garden view villa which was neat and tidy. Worth the stay. We love the location and makes a great place to visit with the family.
This time we booked an upgrade to an ocean view villa but the condition of the villa was awful. DO NOT stay in villa 21!
We stayed in as we had rain for a couple of days. The interior was less than satisfactory for a 4 star accommodation. The carpet was disgusting and requires a deep clean. The couch was very uncomfortable and cushion requires to be replaced. There was no shower door on the second bathroom, the towel rails had fallen off and placed under the sink and the bathtub plug is not the correct plug and does not keep water in the bathtub. The curtains were not in good working condition and needs a clean, the blinds and air conditioning need to be repaired and do not work.
Please do some work on this villa before you rent it out to holiday makers as it does not match up to 4 star quality.

I didn't stay here, so I can't comment on the rooms.... however there are plenty of other comments on them in other reviews. What I can comment on is how much of a great place it is to stop for a drink. Out in the deck, views of the waves, sea breeze, people using the green space between the dunes and pub.......awesome spot!

Food here is always excellent. A must visit if you're visiting the coast! The wait for food is relatively short for a pub, and the quality is always good.
Really nice atmosphere and the outside bit is so nice in summer.

We have been to the accommodation once, we want to go back. The restaurant food is superb, we have been there several times. This last visit was made nicer, due the service of a very young female worker who went out of her way to accommodate us. Food is superb, but not expensive. 10/10

Not writing about the bungalows. We haven't stayed there. I am however writing about the food in the restaurant. The restaurant is gorgeous. Beautifully set up. The food that we ate however has a lot to be desired. My husband and myself both ordered the ham and pineapple pizza and our friend ordered the lamb pizza. The price was $24 and for that we got a flat base with lots of crust on the edges with 3 pieces of ham and 5 pieces of pineapple and the lamb was the same. Very short on toppings. The staff however were lovely. The large coffee is the equivalent of a medium anywhere else and my long black was only half full. Maybe the rest of the food was good but not going back because I'm not interested in paying $24 for bread.

Lovely location with a good amount of privacy. The view is amazing and the rooms well appointed. While there is no room service option, the bar and restaurant has great options. Excellent reception venue

The adults only ocean front bungalows are amazing! We stayed 2 nights and didn't want to leave. So private and relaxing. The huge rain head in the shower was awesome! Loved the bath overlooking the the king bed. The view is picture perfect. Right on the ocean, with no one yelling mum! It was simply amazing. We loved it and highly recommend having a couples only mid week stay. We will be back!

Accommodation is really nice. Amazing night sky at the beach. Breathtaking sunrises. Live music at the bar. The accessibility ramps are a bit of a maze and not very convenient to get around the complex with a pram. Also the walkways were so dark at night, everyone had to get around with flashlights. Might just be related to recent floods though.
Nice beach, but be careful swimming there. Good for surfing though.

Loved this place. The lagoon front adults only bungalows are a peaceful respite. A bit of indulgence with well designed and appointed rooms. Great bar and restaurant. I highly recommend grabbing take away from the restaurant and enjoying it on your private balcony overlooking the lagoon and entertaining bird life. Staff at reception are the loveliest you'll meet and the bar and restaurant crew are always cheerful and helpful.

Beautiful venue for both weddings and weekend's away. Staff are so friendly and we had the most amazing wedding that we came back for our two year anniversary. Perfect spot with the bungalows and falling asleep to the sound of the beach. Would recommend to anyone!

Staff were beyond friendly. The villas were stunning we a beautiful view.

We had a birthday tea with the family.

Great outlook. Food was good, staff very friendly and helpful.

A lovely hidden gem. One of my new favourites.
